Let's talk about MOJO! What worked? What didn't? And who was that girl that refused to buy me any more shots of Jager?

Also, we know a lot of you will have questions about our change to being the Untitled Macrame Artists Group. Please come and bring your suggestions and comments. After the meeting we'll be having a little macrame craft time, table space permitting. Our last macrame event went excellently!

NEXT WEEK'S MEETING:

Next week we'll hold the Macrame Artists Group's annual Memberhip Planning Meeting. What will this new year look like? How can you help? How can we spread the word about our new mission and build awareness about macrame? Join the discussion! Location to be announced.

COPYRIGHTING WORKSHOP

SVLogo

FREE WORKSHOP
COPYRIGHT AND TRADEMARK
presented by Slone & Vrablik

Wednesday, March 17, 2010
7:30pm

Alan Slone and Ron Vrablik (founding members of the law firm Slone & Vrablik)
are two attorneys who focus their practice on the areas of entertainment and
criminal defense law.

Both Mr. Slone and Mr. Vrablik have backgrounds in the arts and entertainment
fields, and met while studying Recording Industry Management at MTSU prior to
law school. Simply put, the two are well acquainted with the pitfalls of the
arts world, having experienced some of them first hand. Having also had limited
experiences with law enforcement during their misspent youths, Mr. Slone & Mr.
Vrablik have found that servicing the total needs of their artist friends
involves some portion of criminal defense work. Most artists appreciate the
complement of services, and Slone & Vrablik is happy to provide them all under
one roof.

Mr. Slone & Mr. Vrablik spend most of their time in Nashville, where they
argue, smoke way too many cigarettes, love their families, and try not to take
themselves too seriously.

STILL SOME SPRING POSTERS LEFT FOR DISTRIBUTION

MORE OF YOUR NEWS
Observe that Untitled thanks Andee Rudloff for offering free Frist Center admission for Untitled members last week! Have you been thinking about a Frist membership?
Did you know that the membership fee is usually an easy tax-deduction for
artists? (Provided you make enough for that to matter. As you know, some of us don't. Sob sob.) Did you know that College Students with Ids receive FREE admission to the Frist Center on College Nights? (from 5-9pm every Thursday and Friday night)
Visit fristcenter.org for more info.

Finally, notice that we also thank Alan LeQuire for letting us meet at his fabulous space last week. You are always invited to attend open studio nights at the LeQuire Gallery and work from a live model. Check out Alan's Open Studio every Tuesday:

Sign up to distribute posters around town and you'll get a chance to "stick it to the man." Actually, you'll get a chance to promote art, but as you know, it's fun to play "let's pretend we're sticking it to the man."
